I wonder when the hate(and possibly the "overrated" trend) will end

The hate is unjustified.All popular things get hated. Just ignore them. We all deep down know Demon Slayer is one of the best animes ever.

Demon Slayer is as deep as a pond and the only good thing about it is the visuals. For the main character we have the same good guy hero of justice we see everywhere in every typical shounen. The story is as basic as it can get. There is bad guys ranked by tier and good guys ranked by tier, every shounen as this.

The side characters are some of the weakest including Zenitsu and Inouske, which have the most screentime. Others who are somewhat interesting like Shinobu don't get enough screentime.

So yeah apart from the God tier visuals there isn't really anything good about the show. Maybe the music as well but thats all.

Also just because people are unable to understand complex shows like Garden of Sinners or Fate its not a valid reason to not criticize Demon Slayer, saying "its for everyone" means nothing. Its an objective fact that those shows are much better.

I would even argue that Demon Slayer is not that good when it comes to animation, it just gives you the illusion that its very nice looking. That is because Demon Slayer highly lacks Sakuga. Most of its "prettiness" comes from CGI camera tricks which allows for a lot of camera movement, digital effects like particles, lots of colors here and there, light effects, compositing, etc. However I have barely seen any pure sakuga in Demon Slayer that blew my mind off. Even the Sakuga in ep 19 was mediocre at best.

People treat it as if its some masterclass of anime but it isn't.

Its okay for popcorn entertainment but it definitely did not deserve anime of the year at Crunchyroll Anime Awards and 100% did not deserve Anime of Decade at Funimation awards.

Everything is hated in some way, Demon Slayer fans just find ways to get offended by hate more than any other anime community.

Hmm supernatural tag and power systems exists for a reason bro..... I agree it could have been better however but You cant really criticise the power system in a supernatural story...You can criticise the plot armour to some extent though...

Put animation aside, we will talk about story & character here because we all know ufotable animation quality already.
KnY is considered generic because of how it dont have that much “original content”(JJK is in the same boat)and I do agree that it is. But lets have an example:
If you copy your friend exam without getting caught and your friend got A+, will you also got A+? Yes. So if people see your exam without see your friend, will they think your exam is good? Obviously.
We think that KnY is generic because we’ve watched way to many other Shonen like the big 3, Dragon Ball, AOT, FMAB,…etc… But have new people watched those? No. So they obviously think KnY is good. KnY and JJK mostly gain hate from OG watchers because of the lack of “original content” while new watchers don’t know about that, so they won’t think its bad.
And of course, big series = big fandom = big toxic people. Thats how it has been. There are people that even called AOT or Death Note generic & overhyped so KnY won’t be out of their sight anytime soon.
NGL, even tho Chainsaw Man have lots of original content and people call it “not your average Shonen”, I am DEAD SURE it will be the next victim of the “generic & overhyped” trend. And yes, another reason is because CSM is the only manga/anime that can be more popular than KnY ATM. And future series like Spy x Family, Dandadan, Sousou no Frieren,… will be the next victim when they got an anime for sure

Not on MAL but on some other platform people are already calling CSM 'generic or overhyped', which just goes on to prove that some people just hate anything that's famous, and it's more so for the anime which especially excels at one thing or is getting more attention then their favorite anime.

DamonElix said:



The Fate/Heaven's Feel movies have actual sakuga unlike Demon Slayer so its not like Ufotable cannot do good 2D animation but for some reason Kimetsu doesn't have any.

Almost all the great scenes in Kimetsu utilize digital effects/CG.

Fight against the demon in room looked good because of the CGI and how the camera constantly kept changing angles during the rotation.

Ep 19 also hit the feels due to the music and mostly the digital effects, like the rainbow of colors when Rui's neck is severed. There was some minimal Sakuga like when Tanjiro was running after Rui but thats it.

Even other fights like the one with Zenitsu and the spider demon only looked good because of the camera movement trickery they pulled.

I'm not saying this is bad in anyway but like I said, its not true animation. Nothing beats pure Sakuga.

DamonElix said:


No you're just triggered I pointed out the truth about your favorite anime and its not as good as you would like to believe lol.

Also stop putting words in my mouth, read what I said again. I never used the words "fake" or "real".

Obviously its hand drawn its an anime lol wtf? What I'm talking about here is Sakuga and the lack of it in Kimetsu. Do you even know what it is?

Jesus this is why I don't converse with braindead fanboys who cannot even form proper sentences or type properly but are butthurt about other random people not liking what they like, what a kid behavior.

DamonElix said:


Keep flaming lol. Demon Slayer is mediocre at best.

Kahirama said:
I mean, people to this day keep hating SAO and Twilight, so the hate probably won't die. But when it's finished less people will talk about it so the hate comments will probably lessen.

I could name hundreds of anime I liked more than KnY, but despite that I very much enjoyed it, even before the episode 19 and I started watching it before it got popular.

I really think all the hate is going overboard, people are too invested in it. Criticizing is fine, I do also have quite a few issues regarding the story (but mainly from upcoming parts), but disrespecting the anime and people who like it, is too much. I know there is also the other camp, the so called fanboys, but I come across them less than the haters. And honesty what if someone calls Demon Slayer a masterpiece? There is a big chance they will grow out of it eventually either way, so there is literally no need to be hating on them and all. In my early anime days Fairy Tail was my number 1 one anime, today tho, my rating went down quite a bit. The same can happen to those fanboys. Yes, they can be annoying, but haters are just as much.

Demon Slayer is an enjoyable anime and that's why it got popular. It deserves the spotlight.

234Mannan said:
I mean It has become a popular trend to thrash demon slayer everywhere and even people who havent watched the series love to hate on it as well.

In my opinion its just a good series and as an anime its great because even though the "ufotable" excuse still exists, in the end people mostly fail to realize that anime is about animation, soundtrack, and then storyline because its a visual representation...What if it got produced by another studio?
Well it didnt and please accept this to make your lives better...

ANd at its core
DS is a shounen done right for the most part and has the ability to touch sensitive topics without being Complex as well and it does so in a really soft manner not to mention the cultural refrences and a huge range of audience
Not everyone can watch and appreciate kara no kyoukai (possibly the best Series done by ufotable) not to mention Hunter x Hunter, assassination classroom,madoka rebellion,Ergo proxy, evangelion, link click,Shinsekai yori or even fate zero without digging deep into it for example(Which an average viewer doesnt do?)? I have heard Monogatari is not everyone as well and its true. I did watch it, it was done masterfully but in the end I was not the target audience

Ds is kinda for everyone in a way so yeah the hype could be understood to some extent
I agree the manga is nothing that special though
But back to the main topic
Is hating it gonna solve everything?
I mean in the start it was kinda understandable ngl but nowadays it has turned into a cliche tbh...
Not to mention it did impact the anime medium alot in the past few years as well. And The earnings can possibly lead to great manga adaptations in the future as well.

And always remember excess of everything is bad....

Edit Demon slayer plot armour is actually pretty thin considering all the deaths though, but it could have been made a littel more impactful. I have no complains regarding yorichi and upper 1 parts though

234Mannan said:
Ahh the comment i have been searching for and turns out its by a Pandora hearts fan TWT such as myself(Ofcourse Mochizuki fandom is the best). I share the same views as you brother. I mean I criticise the story for its inconsistent power levels later on and many other things as well but overall its a good story that does alot of things right. I believe its pros overshadow the cons as well
The irony is most of the blind haters are actually isekai,ecchi,mecha and hareem fans though though...(Only taking my expereince into account)

Reelens said:


It got popular because "the stars aligned": The manga ended right as the anime began in a time when people were looking for entertainment and there was little competition. People in Japan "bought in" by buying all the manga volumes in one go and then watched the anime too because they were invested in the property.

It still had to be of at least middling quality to take advantage, and KnY is definitely above middling quality, with some sequences that are actually really impressive and showcase new techniques and technology.

Its biggest flaw is being overly faithful to a flawed, rushed manga.

Adampk said:
-Demon slayer is the world first anime to get best animation ever.
-No well written or decently written story had even got animation comparable to demon slayer unfortunately
-not dbs broly, not mha movies, not hxh and its movies, not mikoto shinkai movies like your name, not fellow ufotable works like fate series or movies, not one piece movie, not evangalion movie, not kyoto animation studios movies like violet evergarden or silent voices, not ghibli movies, not other new shonen like aot or jjk. Non of them have animation comparable to demon slayer. Or else how would people justify a poorly written story elevated by animation.
-animation was so awesome that people started buying manga to this extend to get a piece of sakuga

Finally, worlds unachievable feet of animation which elevated poorly written manga story with poor art to this extend look like this -

Kahirama said:

I mean, I do still hope they can fix the pacing, flesh out some characters and more. These issues become bigger and bigger towards the end. Don't expect some huge story quality leap, but with the recent anime original episode... they could fix many things. Maybe even anime original ending? If it's better I wouldn't complain.
I mean, I do still hope they can fix some issues like pacing, character development and so on with anime original episodes. I don't expect much, but with the recent original episode I do hold some hope. Maybe even anime original ending?

And yes, Demon Slayer did certainly have luck on it's side. But that just proves luck is a part of success.

Tho, lot of new anime are actually adaptations of manga that are nearing the end. However, don't know about current competition.

Hiro4ka11 said:


yeah i hope so. there's some important part that need more detail. but for the ending is no need to make original. the manga ending (full version) is very good.
